Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru - Baba Yasushi

This is an awesome manga. If you long to read a battle manga that is more rooted in reality then this one is for you. The action isn't too over the top and the fighting principles are all based on the real thing. It isn't really a very serious seinen manga like others in this thread. You'll laugh a lot reading through this. It's a seinen manga with a shounen main character. Well, I can say that it's just borderline seinen. This can actually be shounen if not for few nudity and a little gore. I'm sure there'll be some debate on whether which martial art is the deadliest. I hope you'll enjoy reading this manga.

Kohinata Minoru is a college student at a college that is popular for its sports rather than academic orientation. He starts out as a gymnast alongside his friend, Nana, but is bullied by his gymnast seniors. One evening, a karate student at the college, Mutou Ryuuji, witnesses Minoru being bullied and comes to his rescue and drags him into the world of karate. Minoru makes new friends and learns some of their dark pasts, including a shocking death that reveals motives for revenge.

Yeah it finished already. The sequel started last month I think and yeah its a spin off, sort of.

Seriously, no jokes?

I know I frown on it.
The way they "sacrifice" people to him sometimes is just weird. Though very rarely funny.

They also have a sequel to it called Karate Shoukoushi Monogatari but their isn't anybody scanning it at the moment.

Seriously?
Where are you reading these chapters at? , and are they translated? I only ask Since on mangareaders, and manginn, mangafox, animeshippuden, etc. they're not even at 200 chapters. Don't get how the majority of translators can be that far behind for so long (like 3 years or so).
